I liked the last line the best.
It finished it strong.

Keep up the good work.

I love this one. I like the story of it. And the flow is good.

Or at least believed he did no doubt
^^ i think you meant to put "not" instead of "no" or change some other word cause the flow was a little off!!

I think this was a very genuine poem i liked the way you described this person

He barrowed skipping reels of rhyme
Missing his mark from time to time
^^ so many people could relate to being this person i mean things don't always go perfect but at least there is real effort!! great wording : )

Here he rests and here he may lie
But honest words will never die
^^ this was my favorite : ) i liked how it was truthful i mean he may be gone in a technical way but his impact lives on great message here it can give people who lost someone hope or a means of closure ! words last forever...just like pictures : )

great poem here!! 5/5

Here lies a poet, and a humble man
Yet, I believe he was his most loyal fan

(Good start, nice simple flow.)

Pray, he was not often misunderstood
His range short, but his aim was good

(also good, i would have liked to see stronger diction though)

He borrowed skipping reels of rhyme
Missing his mark from time to time

(good, I feel like I'm watching at movie at this part)

At best he knew what he wrote about,
Or at least believed he did no doubt

(good, I would make doubt plural..seems to flow better to me.)

Here he rests and here he may lie
But, his honest words will never die

(okay ending, could have been better. try rewording it and maybe it will have more impact on it. but other then that I enjoyed it.)

You seem to think as a poet that poeple dont quite understand or apprectiate your talent enough. I will read more of your peotry to get a chance to see your skill. and perhaps understand your talent better.

I will have to say that I agree with all the comments that have been left, nothing much I can add other than it is well written and it is a novel idea to write your own epitaph or at least I believe it would be yours. No matter what you are true to the words you write and those honest words will never die, they live on long after you. Well done.

A man that understands himself without a doubt. He knows he makes mistakes every now and then just as humans do. I'd say this poem is like marking your "spot" Well done (:

Wow, I agree with just about all of the comments above. This was such a unique and orginal piece, you nailed it so well. Each line was extremely powerful and full of meaning, leaving the reader stunned and blown away. Great descriptions, imagery and above all deepth. There was so much to think about in this piece, you wrote this wonderfullu. Well-expressed emotions and thoughts. 5/5 from me, take care and God Bless You!

This poem was very good and the flow again was good and the rhyme was good meaning its not forced. This poem spoke to me a lot because I kind of missed my rhymes every once in a while. Good job.
